Expressions such as “healthy thanks to communication” (Belim & Vaz de Almeida, 2018a), “opening the door of communication for better results” in health (Vaz de Almeida & Belim, 2019), communication “as a light on the patient’s path” (Vaz de Almeida & Belim, 2020) and “communication skills as the key” to optimizing health literacy (Belim & Vaz de Almeida, 2018b) translate the value of communication for health.
